~~ One of the new features which it was 
planned to inaugurate at the Poor-Farm 
this year was to have regular meetings 
each Sunday afternoon at. which the 
three pastors would take turns in officiat- 
ing. A few weeks ago the new plan 
was started, but that was the first and 
last prayer-service, however, to date. 
‘The new arrangement was announced 
to the inmates several days in advance, 
but when the minister reached the alms- 
house Sunday afternoon two of the in- 
mates had left for the afternoon, another 
had concealed himself out behind the 
barn, a fourth is deaf, and the two re- 
maining composed the “‘ congregation.’’ 
While the new plan has not been much 
of a success as a religious service it has 
been decided that perhaps the ministers 
might make a friendly call occasionally, 
which custom, in fact, has always been 
in vogue. Selectman George Lockhart 
Allen is in charge of the poor this year,
